SPRING BREAK MARCH 1 TO 10, 2013
TRAVEL STUDY OPPORTUNITY
The Wonders of China
Throughout much of history, China had remained a relatively isolated country; an ancient and mysterious land little known
to the western world. Now undergoing a period of rapid development and modernization like none ever seen before, this
once distant country is now opening its arms widely to the outside world. There has never been a better time to experience
the Wonders of China. From the historic wonders of the Great Wall and Xian's ancient Terra-Cotta Warriors to the modern
wonders of the neon lined bustling streets and skyscrapers of Shanghai, China has so much to see and experience.

Tip of the Week: How is your sleep?
Do you have trouble falling asleep? Do you feel that you are not getting enough sleep? If falling asleep,
staying asleep, or sleeping well is a problem for you, here are some tips to help you get better sleep!
*?. Try to get the nightly sleep you require (7-9 hours) to feel just right the next day.
2. Go to sleep with a positive attitude; visualize and imagine that you will sleep well.
3. Eliminate non-sleep activities in bed ( such as reading or doing other work) to
strengthen association between your bed and sleeping ( unless these activities are part
of your sleep ritual).
4. Develop a 30 minute or more sleep ritual before bed time. This is a relaxing activity you
do every night in the same order at about the same time before you get into bed. A hot
shower, bath, or relaxing or inspirational reading activity may be helpful.
5. Avoid naps, except for quick "power" naps no longer than 20 minutes and no later than
the afternoon.
6. Go to bed and get up at regular times, even if you're tired in the morning. Don't vary
your time of going to bed or getting up.
7. Don't try to make yourself sleep. If you're unable to fall asleep after 20-30 minutes,
/leave your bed, engage in some relaxing activity, and do not return to bed until you are
sleepy.

Tip of the Week: How is your sleep?
Do you have trouble falling asleep? Do you feel that you are not getting enough sleep?
If falling asleep, staying asleep, or sleeping well is a problem for you, here are some tips
to help you get better sleep!
1. Try to get the nightly sleep you require (7-9 hours) to feel just right the
f next day.
2. Go to sleep with a positive attitude; visualize and imagine that you will
sleep well.
3. Eliminate non-sleep activities in bed ( such as reading or doing other
work) to strengthen association between your bed and sleeping ( unless
these activities are part of your sleep ritual).
4. Develop a 30 minute or more sleep ritual before bed time. This is a
relaxing activity you do every night in the same order at about the same
time before you get into bed. A hot shower, bath, or relaxing or inspirational
reading activity may be helpful.
5. Avoid naps, except for quick "power" naps no longer than 20 minutes and
no later than the afternoon.
6. Go to bed and get up at regular times, even if you're tired in the morning.
Don't vary your time of going to bed or getting up.
7. Don't try to make yourself sleep. If you're unable to fall asleep after
0 20-30 minutes, leave your bed, engage in some relaxing activity, and do not
return to bed until you are sleepy.

Hi
Every week leading up to the presidential
election on November 6, a frequently asked
question about voting will appear. Keep your
eyes out and get informed! If you have any
other questions feel free to stop by the
Women's Leadership Office.
THIS WEEK'S FAQ:
What should I do if I have just moved or
changed my name?
Am I required to re-register?
Your voter registration record should always
reflect your current residence and name.
However, if you have moved from your home
into a temporary residence (not your permanent
residence), you can continue to use your prior
permanent residence where you were
registered to vote as your address for the
purpose of voting. If you have changed your
name, you should re-register so that your
registration record reflects your current name..

THIS WEEK'S FAQs:
Is voter registration information confidential?
The voter registration rolls are not available to the general public. However,
California law allows certain voter information to be released to a member of the
California Legislature or U.S. Congress, or to any candidate, any committee for
or against a proposed ballot measure, any person for election, scholarly,
journalistic, or political purpose, or for governmental purposes. Even in these
cases, a few items remain confidential and are never provided to any requestor:
your social security number, your driver license number, and your signature.

REMEMBER TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6!!!!
In the Catholic tradition,
participation in voting is an ethical requirement -
because it is about participation in the human community,
and helping to make decisions based on the "Common
Good" -
the good of all, especially the most marginalized and
vulnerable -
not only the advancement of one's self-interest.

Healthy Eating Tips for the Busy College Student
The average college student is often pressed for time, under a lot of stress, and eating on the go. It
may be difficult to avoid bad eating habits like skipping meals or frequenting fast food restaurants,
but eating a healthy diet can help you feel better, cope with stress, and perform better in the
classroom. Here are some tips to get started:
1. Eat a good breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day!
2. If you must eat fast foods, choose wisely. Try getting a side salad instead of the
French fries, and watch out for high in fat salad dressing.
3. Keep healthy snacks on hand.
4. Eat foods rich in calcium, such as low-fat yogurt, low-fat cheese, and leafy green
vegetables in your diet.
5. If you drink alcohol, keep in mind it supplies calories but no nutritional value.
6. Drink LOTS of water. Your body needs at least 8 glasses a day.
7. Try to avoid eating for emotional reasons (i.e. when stressed, bored, sad, etc.) and
focus on eating as a result of physical hunger.
For more information on healthy eating tips or other issues, contact Counseling and Psychological
Services (CPS) at (310) 954-4114.

more manageable bits < t e ^
1. Be realistic in your goals
Break down your goal into smaller,
Reward yourself for every positive step
2. Start with a plan and stick to it
Create strategies to deal with possible setbacks
Track your progress to stay motivated
3. Team up with a friend or loved one & r o ^
List your goals and share them with a friend for accountability
You'll be able to encourage and support one another
4. Look at the bright side and allow yourself mistakes
You will reach your goal more easily if you accentuate the positive
Don't beat yourself up for setbacks
5. Think of resolutions as opportunities to try new things
Resolutions should not seem like punishments
If you try to make them fun, you will be more likely to stick with
them
6. Try, try again
If you don't succeed at first, don't be discouraged.
Not many people are able to reach their goals on the first try. Try
again!

CPS Tip of the Week:
Bldy Image Is a State of Mind
Most people believe that body image difficulties associatecU^^^weight,
size^uod shape ca^pe fixed by making physical changes. Research shows
that body image problems may be temporarily lifted after weight loss, but
the negative thoughts return in equal or worse amounts. Negative body
image can lead to an underlying low level of unhappiness, binge eating,
substance use, social anxiety, and more. These negative thoughts need to
be understood in the context of powerful economic forces, history, culture,
and family. It is the thoughts that need to be changed... not the body.
Negative thoughts limit people much more than body weight, size, or shape
ever couid. Your self-perception is powerful. Your body is as b£"dutif ul as
you think it is. To discuss body image or any other personal concerns, please

Tips for Dealing with Conflict
Ask questions
Conflict can arise due to poor communication — someone didn't say what they meant
to say or perhaps misstated what was intended. Before you allow an escalation, ask
questions.
Recognize differing perspectives
Keep in mind that conflict may arise due to people having different perceptions. You, or the other
person, saw things differently
Want to know what a leader is? Have you ever met a leader before? Who exactly is a leader?
Join us for a day of hands on learning about what Leadership truly is. Join the discussions
based off of everyday leaders in our community & participate in student led workshops.
Students pay money for conferences such as this one, but you are invited to participate in
this Leadership Conference for FREE! Students, take advantage of this great opportunity!
Lunch will be provided so make sure you RSVP as soon as possible!!
Identify mistakes
Honest and unintended mistakes frequently result in conflict. Before you let
temperatures rise, do a reality check of your understanding with the other persons'
Focus on preventing escalation
Conflict resolutions always start with one or both parties making an honest attempt at avoiding
further escalation. This recognition often causes a more objective review to occur.
April 7,2013, 9
Open to ALL Mount F
n the rPottaJ. rTodau!!
Commit to working it out
jgpJJ^. j| Take charge of the process by committing to reach a resolution. A powerful impact
^&^T occurs when one person makes this statement.
Stay calm
Cooler heads prevail in even the most difficult conflicts. Whether you're in a work or personal
situation, you can take control of it by keeping cool. And when you're maintaining your calm, it will
be easier for others involved to get back to the task at hand.

all individuals with dignity and respect is a part of social justice. Learning to be
understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community can
involve being sensitive to your thoughts, words, and actions, both in your professional and

For example, it is often very diffic ult for someone to "come out' with this identity, so to be
a supportive friend you can:
How the LGBT individual to come out to you at their own pace. Keep their

Acknowledge the risk they took by coming out to you. Compliment their courage.
